Shaker Lemon Pie The Golden Lamb Inn, Lebanon, Ohio "All great change in America begins at the Dinner Table", Ronald Reagan from the Golden Lamb website pastry for a 2 crust pie 2 lemons, sliced very thin 2 cups sugar 5 eggs, beaten A mandoline will give you the thinest lemon slices. Macerate the slices, rind and all, for 2 hours in the sugar. Heat the oven to 425o. Add the beaten eggs. Put in the pie shell and cover with the top crust. Bake the pie for 15 minutes at 425o and then for 30 minutes more, plus or minus, at 350o. Note: The Golden Lamb Inn is the oldest inn in Ohio. Porter, Basil and I, on our way to the Delta Queen for a trip to the Kentucky Derby, stayed overnight at the Inn. It was indeed very old but charming. And the Shaker pie was delicious. We were on our way to Cincinnati, having visited the president of the American Carriage Association somewhere north of Lebanon. Porter was totally disenchanted with him when we discovered in his large collection of antique carriages one which he had converted to a telephone booth. Lebanon was a short way north and east of Cincinnatti where we met Don and Vog. I believe that we met the Delta Queen there also. We were actually several days on the road - we stopped in Cleveland to visit the Cleveland Art Museum (and stayed at a quite elegant Bed and Breakfast owned by a glamorous former Broadway actress) and on the way home we stopped again in Pittsburg for another carriage exhibition. I'm not sure how far we drove but it took long enough to listen to all of Edith Wharton's House of Mirth. For a more detailed version, see Shaker Lemon Tart. |
